Settlement & Storage Guides
Distinguish discovery from assignment and recovery. A villager you have never found needs a search route; a recruited villager who vanished needs room and respawn checks.
What is happening in your game?
Match the symptom, make the first check, then open the detailed steps.
I have never found the fourth NPC
Compare the villagers you have already met with the dated four-NPC roster.
Identify the missing villager →A villager will not move in
Check the room requirements and the bed assignment.
Check the room and bed →A recruited NPC has disappeared
Use the room reassignment and recovery steps for this separate symptom.
Recover a missing NPC →Quick stack stops at a full chest
Check whether the matching item stack reached 999 before trying the documented workaround.
Check the full-stack symptom →Find and house the missing villager
Compare the dated roster, then check the intended room and bed assignment.
Recover an already recruited NPC
A valid new room and manual reassignment matter for the documented stuck-save symptom.
Move supplies into reserved chest slots
Check whether the matching stack reached 999 before applying that particular workaround.
Reduce pressure around your base
Match the difficulty and Horde setting to the dated spawn advice; lighting alone does not establish a safe zone.
Quick questions
Can I build a visible roof?
The October 1 discussion asks for visible roofs; it does not establish a usable roof recipe. For NPC housing, check the room and bed requirements in the guide above.
